Hi, I’m Caroline, the face behind Rivers Counselling and Holistic Healing.
I have spent most of my life in a caring role, from motherhood to various roles within the NHS’s Healthcare system and, most recently, as a Person-Centred Counsellor.I discovered that many people like me have been stumbling through life, attempting to live up to society standards without thinking about themselves and what makes their lives joyful and fulfilled.
I discovered that life’s enjoyment returns when we feel safe enough to explore our actual needs and desires. This can take time and a willingness to look within and honestly face ourselves. It can be a lonely and isolating journey.
Rivers Counselling & Holistic Healing
I discovered genuine happiness lies on the other side of sadness, pain, and discomfort.
Life becomes authentically wholesome if someone can be held and experience unconditional positive regard during this transformative exploration of self.
Fear and anxiety take a back seat, allowing space for creativity and forward movement in whatever you hold dear.
I embarked on my healing journey alone, but I have created Rivers Counselling and Holistic Healing, so you don’t have to.
If you feel ready to experience your fabulous true self and strip back the stories and layers of discomfort that hold you back, please get in touch, and lets start this transformative journey together.

Rivers will soon offer Sound Healing as another way to help balance the whole body, mind, and spirit.
Sound Healing is an ancient practice that can provide the comfort and relaxation needed to let go and trust in life’s process.
Sound Healing is all about treating the person as a whole, including the physical body, emotions, mind, soul and spirit.

The name Reiki translates to Rei, meaning universal, and Ki, meaning life force.
Reiki can be used to create a positive healing environment.
Reiki is known as the laying of hands. Healing traditions worldwide have used Reiki for centuries, where people place their hands on or close to the source of pain. This is accomplished through the healers-initiated body.
Reiki's ancient initiation process opens a gateway of tuning that allows the Reiki practitioner to channel the holistic healing energy through their body into the client.
Reiki can be beneficial for individuals with physical and emotional issues such as arthritis, chronic pain, stomach complaints, depression, and anxiety disorders; this short list is by no means exhaustive.
I am a qualified Reiki Master, and I love to work with universal life force energy to help people experience balance and peace. I have found that Reiki is highly beneficial when practised alongside talking therapy and as a solo healing practice. I see it as a comforting guiding blanket, a helpful tool, and a practice that can help you on a healing journey or relax and find a moment of balance in a busy world.
